Fee collection habits: term fees with transport and activity levies Assessment rhythm: term report cards and national GCE examination windows Private, independent, and international schools in Sri Lanka - especially around Colombo, Kandy, Galle, and Jaffna - often run GCE O/L, GCE A/L, Cambridge pathways with Sinhala, Tamil, and English-medium tracks. Coordinators juggle January enrolment aligned to the southern academic calendar while finance teams track term fees with transport and activity levies. Sri Lankan families increasingly expect portal access for fee receipts, attendance summaries, and term report cards and national GCE examination windows - not phone calls to the front office.
